NMC International Aviation Partnership

Private Pilot Course: Benefits for Overseas Students

Professional Team and Individual Approach

On arriving at NMC you will meet your Certified Flight Instructor who will work with you on a daily basis.

In addition to individual flying/ground lessons you will also complete individual study with the PPL CD.

The main topics you will be taught during the PPL course include:

Pre & Post flight Procedures Airport Operations ( Towered and non-towered )

Takeoffs, landings and go-arounds Radio Communications

Performance Maneuvers Ground Reference Maneuvers

Weather Information/Analysis Navigation

Cessna 172SP “G1000” Glass Cockpit Aircraft / Cessna 152

At NMC Aviation you will be flying modern “state of the art” Cessna 172SP G1000 glass cockpit aircraft.

These aircraft include autopilot and flight director and are known to be one the safest training aircraft in opera-

tion. All aircraft are continually maintained by NMC Aviation. We do recommend flight training in the

Cessna 172 as this enables “free” observation flights. Alternatively, another option is the Cessna 152.

Ideal Flying Weather

Between May and November you can experience ideal flying weather in Michigan as we do not experience the

unstable weather conditions and excessive temperatures that makes flying in Florida and other southern states

very uncomfortable. The average temperature in June, July and August in the northern states is between 70

and 80 degrees so you can still enjoy warm summer vacation weather and great flying conditions.

Ideal Base Location/Administration/International Experience

Traverse City is in the heart of the Great Lakes region and directly adjacent to the aqua-rimmed waters of the

Grand Traverse. Whilst taking time off from flying, you can enjoy the golden beaches that Traverse City pro-

vides along with a wide variety of outdoor and water sports.

In addition the program is run by our own British CFI who will organize and ensure your visit is run smoothly

and professionally. We have a number of options with regards to accommodation and all these are available

on request. Depending on the dates when you start and complete course NMC Aviation can also organize vis-

its to the Oshkosh EAA Airshow, National Aviation Museums, Local Airshows / Fly-in’s and Corporate Char-

ter Companies so you can gain a complete USA Aviation Experience..

Timescale and Costs

Timescale

This particular course is recommended during the summer months ( between May and September ). Start date

is flexible, and we can organize a suitable instructor to commence the course the day you arrive. Successfully

completing the course within 6 weeks will require at least 5 flights per week and sufficient ground study. It is

highly recommended that students complete a PPL On-line Ground Course before starting at NMC Aviation.

We can provide details on request. During your training you will also have the opportunity to visit other

Aviation Operations and events such as Local Air Charter Company, EAA Projects, and Airshows and also

have time to enjoy Traverse City.

Intensive Course

An intensive 4 to 6 week PPL course is available for those who have limited time in the US. This course will

require a minimum of 10 flights per week and significant ground study. This course requires significant work

and success is dependent upon work ethic and the ability of each individual student.

The Private Pilot License Course can be undertaken in either the Cessna 152 or Cessna 172 ( G1000—glass

cockpit ). Costs can be provided on request and depend on type aircraft flown and previous experience.
